Dawn Zimmer took her crusade against Chris Christie to CNN today, telling State of the Union of her accusation that the governor held Sandy recovery funds hostage, "It's stunning. It's outrageous. But it's true." Of her timing, Zimmer admits that "I probably should have come forward sooner, but I really didn't think anyone would believe me." Team Christie, meanwhile, is dismissing Zimmer's story as "categorically false" and "partisan politics," as per a spokesman. Zimmer, a Democrat who says she's never "been part of the Democratic machine," denies that politics are at play; "I did have a really good relationship (with the governor) so I couldn't believe they were doing this." Elsewhere on your Sunday dial, as per Politico:

House Intel chair Mike Rogers on Edward Snowden: "There are some security things that he did get around that are clearly above his capabilities. The way he departed and how he ended up in Moscow... But I can guarantee you, he's in the loving arms of an FSB agent right today, and that's not good for the United States. This wasn't a random smash and grab, run down the road, end up in China, the bastion of Internet freedom, and then Russia, of course, the bastion of Internet freedom."

Who came up with the name Hoboken is that native American or was it settled by Hobos? Christie is a bag of wind had his chance to be something, but blew it like a lot of the GOP snatch failure from the jaws of success. We are finished as a nation under Obama I hear TAPS in the background just thing of the damage this man will do in the next three years and god forbid Hillary gets it next time that is double cluster.

Republicans are already attacking her - especially Joe Scarborough & Mika. They doesn't understand what bullying is and this mayor was bullied. Both said that mayor should have confronted Christie! Keep in mind, this is about the victims of a hurricane & the mayor wants help for them. What happens when you go up against Christie? You get punished and frozen out even more. The mayor is telling her story now because the governor can't retaliate against her. How about Mika and Joe demanding a 50% raise? How about both of them giving their boss an ultimatum? Does anyone really think that will give them more respect?
